Same thing. The name is derived from old Usenet readers, which had a
text file list of email addresses that it would ignore posts from.
Since usenet can have a particularly low signal-to-noise ratio, these
readers had a quick "kill" command that would automatically add the
poster of the currently selected message to the file.
